Default My 2011 USB IS-F (added pictures)

Hi there,
I picked it up on Sep 18th, and have been doing things here and there to it. 1st week I had the windows tinted. 2nd week I had Tein springs installed. 3rd week I changed all the interior lights to LED bulbs. 4th week my car has been at the body shop for the below work.

I bought the Wald front skirt & rear wing. I'm not feeling the diffuser. Who knows, it might grow on me later down the road. I'm having the front skirt molded into one seamless piece. I just couldn't get over the fact that Wald should have made the entire bumper. The car will be done tomorrow, but thought I post couple of pictures. Excuse the poor quality from my phone. I'll post more pictures this weekend, after it's done. I'm having the grill painted satin black. I also replaced the high beams and fog lights to HID 8000K. The head light bulbs were changed to 8000K also. I'll be installing the navigation override this weekend. Hopefully by next month I'll have enough money for Joe Z exhaust. Wheel wise, I plan to get the 19" Weds Sport SA-67R in blue light chrome, once the tires need to be changed. Hopefully by then, a nice set of headers will be available











The lights were too bright. The pictures didn't turn out well. I had to place the camera behind my sunglasses to take the shot. I don't know why the driving lights came out that color, but it's actually a lot whiter at 8000K.

I didn't get that option.

As for how it drives, I thought the ride was a bit on the stiff side, but not too bad. The Tein springs definitely made the ride a lot smoother. I never drove a 2010, so can't really compare.

Welcome, where in CA are you?


I never liked the WALD rear end either, way too gaudy! This is my friend's USB rear :
